Comments Thread For: Thurman: Errol Spence is a Bigger Fight Than Terence Crawford

[Hands of Stone]

Thurman is so pathetic these days, it is beyond laughable. The guy is used to sleeping in silk sheets now that roadwork for him is gruntwork these days. This is the same dude who beat prime Garcia and Porter back to back. Those wins seems like 20 years ago. This dude is so lame now, he put himself on hiatus and then comes back crying about a getback fight. Dude went from one time to sometimes to once upon a time to no time all in one swoop.

Spence VS Thurman is probably slightly a bigger draw, but Crawford VS Thurman, gives Thurman a better shot at a victory. Thurman can't take body shots. Spence will walk him down.....and into submission.

Better to get beat by an in house fighter, right?

He’s right, Bud is not a draw at all and all his ratings and PPVs are bombs. Maybe that’ll change after leaving Bob and TR. Haymon should feed him Broner while Spence fights Ugas.

People are waiting for Spence Junior to drop off, people still deep down suspect 'He is not at his best, due to his accident'.

There just has not been a fighter, who can pushed him hard enough to find out 'Whether his durability, when the going gets tough is still there 1000%'.

Terrence Crawford is the bigger challenge at this stage for any 147 pound fighter. Right now as we speak anyway. Everything could change after 1 fight.

Like I mentioned in a previous post... Porter made more money fighting Crawford than he did vs Spence. Asking Bob for $10mil,after a loss followed by a 3yr layoff is pricing yourself out if I ever heard one. How much do you think his guarantee is against Barrios is?

You are absolutely right and I just so happen to agree with you. Thurman did price himself out against Terence Bud Crawford.

Now as far as his guarantee for Barrios is concerned; The PBC doesn't do guarantees unless they are confident that they would get a return on their investment like in the case of Mayweather and Canelo because they would have to assume all of the financial risks if the event flops.

Chances are Keith will not get a guarantee; He will get a percentage of what the fight grosses from all its revenue sources including; The live gate and the pay per view sales.

I’ve lost faith in these 147 lb PBC cowards fighting Bud. Just move up and ko Charlo and finish your career at 154 Bud. Spence and Thurman are just plain scared.

Errol Spence is not a draw. He needs help drawing ppvs from other name opponents. Why he keeps taking full credit for this is hilarious. Canelo is what you call a draw. He can fight a no name and sell. Spence can’t do that.

[Sosay]

Didn't need to tell us that. Bob lowballs everyone so he can play the blame game.
Thurman shouldnt be talking until he has at least two fights done though.. Barrios is fine since he's been gone but he better fight someone of note right after.

[Gary Coleman]

Pretty sure Porter made more against Crawford than he did against Spence....

That's only after the WBO ordered the fight, which means their hands were forced.
